As we grow up, we learnt that family is the first social life every new born human will go through. So ‘family’ structure have so much significance in one’s life.
No matter how rich/poor one might be only thing they left with in this world is ‘Family’. The structure called family will break you or will help you fly high. Everyone talks about a healthy family, how it will improve an individual, or how it will help us to grow perfectly with the best manners. But what about those dysfunctional families?
To put in words, dysfunctional family in one sentence ‘it is a home without peace’ where children’s emotions, and feelings are ignored due to the constant conflicts within the family members. It can be dispute between parents and elders. Abusing (oral and physical), cursing over tiny matters, and all the incidents which creates total chaos around the family, which ruins the slogan of healthy family.
The impact of dysfunctional family over children is immense. Each children will not have same temperament because each humans are created differently. If one is emotionally attached, another one might be emotionless. If one is sensitive to each issues, another one might not be sensitive. The effect of dysfunctional family will be different to different individuals.
If an individual is grown up in a healthy family environment, he\she naturally will not have much issues with the people they are involved with. But as for those individual who’s grown up in a toxic environment, they will have hard time in trusting people. The lack of love, care and affection from parentsu will make them crave for the attention, love and care from the people they are surrounded with. Normally they will be observant and they become too much introvert. They fear of getting abandoned by their loved ones. They won’t open up their wounds easily.
There are many other effects of dysfunctional family on their children. But the parents won’t worry about consequences they are creating through their conflicts.
It’s important and is responsibility of parents to create healthy environment to a child. As the family is the base of everything, parents need to get education on how to create healthy environment and on good parenting.
Before things get out of our hands, it’s very important for us to make more people aware of their behaviour. Indeed a home should be source of peace and calmness.
